esrb, the entertainment software ratings board. >> as young parents we both have small children and we feel it's important for parents to know what kind of game children are playing. not every game is appropriate for every child. >> reporter: while some were part of the unveiling playing with mlb '12 the show. and the real thrill here today was getting to play some games with buster and ryan. >> it's a matter of taking a couple of seconds and use a mobile app and that information is there. it's just a matter of taking time and putting some effort forward.

all right. everybody is at the ballpark tonight. it is the place to be. jim joins us. is he with jeff? >> he's with jeff. but jim will talk more hard core sports. jeff will talk about getting barry zito's jersey back to him. >> yeah, i'll be honest, i'm getting insecure here. jeff's over there getting the good sports info, the barry zito jersey, gets the autographs, he knows everything about the team. i'm sitting around saying, hey, let me tell you about the weather. instead we'll tell you about baseball. it's extra special. you know that at&t park is going to be buzzing this evening. even though with these two teams playing at this ballpark at third and king, the giants have been pretty good. they've won their last nine tries against the athletics. tonight you'll get a chance to see the first game in the

three-game set. let's hear from jon miller and mike krukow. >> okay, jim. we have a beautiful night here. the wind is blowing. the giants and the athletics, all bay area interleague matchup. barry zito going against his old team. he's pitched well, mike, except he has this problem where he's not done well against his old team the athletics yet. >> he's crossed a lot of obstacles. in 5-0 starts he's had quality starts. but lifetime against the a's, 1-4 with a 7.24, you always want to do well against the team he played against. he has not done that. it's an obstacle he is yet to cross. >> he'll be facing an oakland lineup that's a bit depleted. some of their top players injured. giants and athletics interest here. back to the studio. here's jim. >> all right, guys. thanks very much. we're six minutes away from the

game. let's see if barry zito can keep the momentum going for the san francisco giants. they finished off a short two-game set the other day. a big win in which the bats got going. here with more on the giants and maybe some momentum is our jaymee sire. well, thanks so much, jim. i think it was huge for the jants' confidence yesterday just the fact they were able to score some runs and also come from behind not once but twice in that game and certainly it's something that can maybe propel them into a successful series against the a's. >> got him. so the giants extend the t two-game slide and have momentum going into the game tomorrow with the oakland a's coming to up to. >> they come out with the win in that situation against that kind of caliber team, it helps us keep things going here especially at home. >> over the last couple of

seasons, the home team has dominated in this series. the a's have won six straight while the giants will go for ten in a row here at at&t park tonight. during that streak, the giants offense has connected on ten home runs with a pitching staff has posted a 1.50 e.r.a. but it doesn't necessarily translate into extra confidence for the giants. >> you feel like you have a slight advantage when you're at home. that's one of our problems. we're not playing as well as at home as we should. our record is not what you would like it to be here. >> especially out here, the weather, i think it will be good. for our confidence more so because i don't really think it has anything to do with it because of the first time we're seeing them this season.

>> reporter: and, jim, if you were hoping to see buster posey tonight, he is not in the lineup but not to worry. it's a normal day off. back over to you. >> all right, thank you very much. the giants have tried to get past the .500 mark, the a's are past it at 20-19 and the athletics are looking forward to this series with the giants. >> i think it's the atmosphere. they're going to have home team atmosphere just like last season. it makes a difference. knowing your field and the confinement of the parks, it makes a difference. come back out and play better than the team at home. >> starts in the off-season. building the team to the field strength. it's fun. i wouldn't call it a rivalry. both sides are pretty cool with

each other. it's been like that for a while. it's nice to have a road game right down the road. >> all right. so there you have it, it's the a's in town for the giants. the bay bridge series and interleague play as the giants try to get over the .500 mark. you'll see it tonight on nbc bay area starting at 7:00. raj and jessica, back to you. >> we have everyone live from the ballpark tonight. >> it's a party. >> jim, jaymee, jeff ranieri, and we're here. >> yes. >> we'll be here all night. for a full half hour of the local sports coverage watch sports net central on comcast sports net bay area at 10:30. >> and jim mentioned because we have the bay bridge series, you can catch "who do you think you are" and "grimm" on 36. catch "date line" and then us. >> we're ready for it. jon miller, mike krukow up live. ♪
